Apache Airflow

metrics instrumentation for offical apache helm chart if you are making use of the https //github com/apache/airflow/tree/main/chart , make sure the statsd exporter is enabled with proper service annotations, if not, you can enable it by adding the following snippet to the values yaml file of the airflow deployment statsd enabled true service extraannotations prometheus io/port "9102" prometheus io/scrape "true" you will also need to add the following extramappings snippet under the statsd configurations of the values yaml file of the airflow deployment statsd extramappings \ match

dashboards/blob/main/grafana/cluster dashboard json can be added into your grafana instance for visualization instrumentation for community helm chart if you are making use of the https //github com/airflow helm/charts/tree/main/charts/airflow , you can enable metrics instrumentaion by following any of the below mentioned methods configuring airflow exporter for metrics using airflow exporter , you can enable metrics by setting the following in the values yaml file of the airflow deployment airflow extrapippackages \["airflow exporter"] and web service annotations prometheus io/path /admin/metrics prometheus io/port "8080" prometheus io/scrape "true" configuring opentelemetry for metrics you can use otel for instrumenting airflow metrics by setting the following in the values yaml file of the airflow deployment airflow extrapippackages \ "apache airflow\[otel]" config airflow metrics otel on "true" airflow metrics otel host "\<otel collector service name> \<namespace> svc cluster local" airflow metrics otel port 4318 airflow metrics otel prefix "airflow" for more configuration options for metrics, you can refer the https //airflow\ apache org/docs/apache airflow/stable/configurations ref html#metrics update your airflow deployment using the helm upgrade command and you should be able to see metrics coming to your grafana traces otel instrumentation for community airflow helm chart if you are making use of the https //github com/airflow helm/charts/tree/main/charts/airflow , you can configure your airflow instance to send traces to your grafana tracing can only be configured if you are using airflow version 2 10 1 and above for the versions below that, airflow does not support traces instrumentation to configure tracing, please add the https //airflow\ apache org/docs/apache airflow/stable/administration and deployment/logging monitoring/traces html#setup opentelemetry and the apache airflow\[otel] package for your airflow by updating values yaml as follows airflow extrapippackages \ "apache airflow\[otel]" config airflow traces otel on "true" airflow traces otel host "\<otel collector service name> \<namespace> svc cluster local" airflow traces otel port 4318 airflow traces otel task log event "true" airflow traces otel service "airflow" for more configuration options for traces, you can check the https //airflow\ apache org/docs/apache airflow/stable/configurations ref html#traces if you set otel debugging on to true , airflow will print traces to the console instead of sending it to configured host update your airflow deployment using the helm upgrade command and you should be able to see traces coming to your grafana
